Banksy’s identity
Banksy is a graffiti artist, he's well known for his work but mostly be no one knows his true identity, most of his work is based in london, on the streets alone side everyday things. his work is seemingly more intriguing because his identity is so secretive. He works using stencil and spray cans mostly in black and white with the odd bits of colour. i would say his work is less graffiti and more montage of different images. His work has been seen as controversial.
“In October 2007, a story on the BBC website featured a photo allegedly taken by a passer-by in Bethnal Green, London, purporting to show Banksy at work with an assistant, scaffolding and a truck.. In May 2009, the Mail on Sunday once again speculated about Gunningham being Banksy after a "self-portrait" of a rat holding a sign with the face of the man on the 2004 photo shot on it was photographed in East London.”
Banksy himself states: I am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as being 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me
